Christ almighty, I can't believe I just read through 7 pages of bullshit economic plans, bad debating, and Jerry Seinfeld jokes. I would of rather watched one of fatass Moore's movies than to have gone through that.
Yes, we had a lot of fun yesterday.
Get a job, you bum.
Why haven't i seen the incentive to work argument? It's like the number one selling point for capitalism.
If noone's giving you what you deserve when you work, people are just going to sit on their asses.
The USSR was less productive than America during the cold war in spite of it having the most natural resources because of one, simple thing.
People won't work harder if there's nothing to it but the "common good". We want to taste the fruits of our labour, not hand over our hard earned rewards to some fat, greedy politician who has never accomplished anything and only lives to rule others, a man elected not because of expertise or insight, but because of his charisma and the ammount of money poured into his election campaign.
People are too stupid to vote for the right guy just yet, let's wait till we all look like eggheads and master theoretical quantum nuclear rocket physics.
Until then, i'll keep my shit thank you very much.

[QUOTE=Lankist;15958443]I'm fairly certain his bank account would be evidence to him making a very high profit.[/QUOTE]
Yes, but is he striving for the highest possible profit?
Shouldn't he be making stuffed animals to go with his DVD?
That's a bullshit argument.
GUYS GUYS I'm not capitalist I got rich on accident
I think Lankist made his point 7 pages ago.
[QUOTE=Lankist;15945038]Lots of dumb ratings, no explanation of how it ISN'T hypocritical to sell a criticism of capitalism.[/QUOTE]
How the fuck do you know what he does with his money? For all you know he might give it to charity.

Yes Michael Moore donates all of his money to charity and spends many hungry nights because of it.

Fahrenheit 9/11 alone earned over 100 million USD from what I can find.

You're twisting my words, I was just saying that being a capitalist ussually means getting that last penny out of the well. If I make a DVD, which would cost me $ 10 to produce, $ 5 to fabricate and $ 2 dollars to get it in the stores, would I be a big fat capitalist if I charge $ 20?

cap·i·tal·ism
Pronunciation:
\ˈka-pə-tə-ˌliz-əm, ˈkap-tə-, British also kə-ˈpi-tə-\
Function:
noun
Date:
1877
: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market
Capitalism is about minimal involvement by the government. It doesn't matter HOW much profit you make, if you are in the private sector and you are selling a product for profit, it is capitalism. By your definition the only capitalists in the world are insane pennygrabbers. That just isn't true.
Michael Moore is profiting from and distributing his films through a capitalist system completely out of his own volition. I mean fuck, even Zeitgeist is free! The Zeitgeist dudes, as crazy as they are, made their shit FREE. What the FUCK kind of logic is it that Mr. Hundreds of Millions in Profit Michael Moore can't fucking afford to make a free movie?
Bullshit. He's a hypocrite, pure and simple. If Michael Moore wants to be taken seriously as a critic of capitalism, he should get off his fat, rich ass and put his stupid movie on a torrent, so at very least he's not such a goddamn, hypocritical weasel.
